A main portion of the project that won’t be completed is the brick walkway on Fraser Street, which could impact entrance into the field on game day.

There has been no formal request from the construction company to extend the deadline so Poprik could not say how much longer it might take. He added there will be some substantial change orders to raise the cost of the project, but he expects it to be within the 5 percent buffer and not have a large effect on the overall cost.

The entire project, including a water drainage system to the sinkhole, the bleachers, the sidewalk and a turf replacement, cost more than $3 million.

Poprik said the turf replacement is complete and the field was able to hold two practices Monday.

Board member Dorothea Stahl said despite the delays, the turf and bleacher project look good, specifically praising the stone wall in front of the west bleacher area.
